About CUMC

The Cambridge University Mountaineering Club is one of the oldest climbing clubs in Britain. Founded in 1905, it exists to help climbing students of the University make contact with one another and go climbing and mountaineering.

As a club we cater for members with a broad variety of climbing tastes. The current spectrum of climbing in the club includes indoor climbing, scrambling, bouldering, rock climbing, ice climbing and alpine climbing.

The club organises trips at the weekend and outings to climbing walls during the week, details of which can be found in the meets section. Members often travel further afield during the holidays in informal groups to more exotic locations.

The club additionally owns a collection of books which is housed in the Wherry Library in Pembroke College.
